Great book full of tons of details! Frances Densmore paints a very vivid picture of the Chippewa/Ojibwe people, from how they picked their names, to what they wore in winter, to the fact that they liked fish-heads as a delicacy, or the sleeping arrangements inside the family wigwam.It's absolutely screaming-full of all those little details that you're constantly trying to find but never can seem to put your finger on. They're right here, of course!My only complaint is that the ceremonies (Marriage, births, etc) are only touched upon barely.I would have liked to hear more about those particular aspects.
Excellent Book!Lots of great pictures!

An Enduring Classic
Outstanding ethnography, and still the best Some of the tribes understandably receive more coverage than others, because little was known about them at the time. For example, the Wappo and Washo Indians only have four and half pages each in the book, but the Yokuts section has 70 pages, but this is understandable given the original publication date of 1925 by the U.S. Government Printing Office. Since then, our knowledge of many of the tribes has become significantly greater, or at least less sketchy, but you'll have to consult other sources for that. One notable thing about the book is the photos of various individuals, most of which could probably not be obtained today--such as the picture of the "Karok man in warrior custume in rod armor and helmut," or the "Hupa (man) measuring dentalium money against tattoos on his forearm," two truly quite striking photographic portrayals. Despite its deficiencies (which are still modest considering how old it is), this still ranks as the best compendium of knowledge about California Indians, and one of the greatest ethnographies ever written. On a personal note, I thought I'd mention I had Kroeber's son, Ted, as my psychological statistics professor at San Francisco State back in the mid-70's. Although I never had the opportunity to meet the father, Ted was a really cool psych. prof., and I enjoyed his class. He said his father would often tell him and his sister Ursula (Ursula LeGuin, who became a famous science fiction author), stories about the Indians when they were children, and he would occasionally regale us with stories about his famous father in class, which helped to break up the necessary discipline and technical rigors of a statistics class.
A Lasting Record Though some of the information hasbeen corrected by subsequent researchers (checking Kroeber's work againstmore recent publications is reasonable), the Handbook remains useful toanyone who wants an overview or details about the numerous peoples whoinhabited the state before the coming of the Spanish in 1769. WhereKroeber is sketchiest is, of course, where the peoples had beenexterminated before his investigations began shortly after the turn of thecentury.His work on the Yokuts and the Mojave, on the other hand, isextensive and helps us to understand some of the culture of their nowmissing neighbors.He has left no people unaccounted for.Thanks to thisvolume, interest in the California Indians has been stimulated for all timeand with that interest has come a desire to preserve. All Californiahistory lovers and anthropologists need this book on their shelves.

Editorial Review Product Description African throwing knives constitute a unique category of weapons found nowhere else in the world. They were weapons of war and implements of the hunt. The end of the functional use of the throwing knife was during the last two decades of the 19th and the first decade of the 20th century. However, the end of traditional warfare did not mean that the throwing knife disappeared. Its persistence may be attributed to its potential to take on the role of ceremonial and ritual weapon and other completely new roles. This group of knives came to the National Museum of Ethnology, Leiden, at the end of the nineteenth century. It is one of the earliest such collections and is closely associated with Dutch trade interests in the Congo. A number of related items are also included, such as hand weapons, axes with a bird-like form, ceremonial weapons, and shields. |
